Liz leads PA’s Skills & Workforce Transformation consulting work having previously been an HR Director in a leading Consumer company. Liz is currently supporting a wide range of public sector clients solve some of their biggest workforce challenges with a specific focus on Strategic workforce planning and organisational design- getting the right people at the right time and place. 

In light of continued cost pressures, devolution across the public sector and the significant prevailing skills challenges for UK plc and the combined impact of AI on how work gets done, organisations need to be increasingly savvy about how they align their skills acquisition strategies with their retention and development activity as part of a robust workforce plan. Liz and her team help clients grapple with these challenges as well as making sure that the right organisational design is in place; she runs a strategic workforce planning networking group and regularly supports the central government HR team in Cabinet office, working closely with Fiona Ryland, Chief People Officer, and team.
